The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 310

The tutors, who had been squatting, soon discovered that the kitchen door had been pushed open. They couldn't believe it and looked at each other, even glancing at Xu Tian several times.

But soon the door was pushed open, and the tutors were shocked. They had never been teaching for so long, and they had never imagined that such a thing would happen.

Su Shichang was furious and immediately tried to rush out, but Xu Tian grabbed his arm.

Then they saw someone furtively pouring a packet of white powder into the students' porridge. At that moment, the person suddenly noticed that the lids of several bamboo buckets used for storing vegetables in the kitchen had been lifted, and they saw several tutors stand up, their faces grim.

The man was about to run away when he realized that the entrance was blocked by a crowd of people.

"What do you want to do?"

Several tutors then came over.

"As teachers, we should impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts. If Bailu Academy wants to defeat Hongwen Academy, you must rely on your strength! Win fairly and squarely! Bailu Academy was once the number one academy in the world, how glorious it was!"

I never imagined you would stoop so low! Poisoning students of our Hongwen Academy! If anything happens to our students, I will certainly not let you get away with this!"

"Who said I poisoned them? I didn't poison them at all. Besides, how do you know I'm from Bailu Academy?" Before the man could finish speaking, he saw Zhang Yunlie and Gu Zhihuai being helped up by the servants of the house, blocking the doorway.

Zhang Yunlie and Gu Zhihuai were both seen with faces full of anger.

"No wonder we've been suffering from diarrhea for the past few days and haven't been able to get out of bed. I didn't expect someone to give us laxatives. Aside from being a student, I am also a scion of a prominent family. Don't you know we are spoiled brats?"

The two immediately let out a cold laugh.

Zhang Yunlie and Gu Zhihuai were helped to stand aside by their respective stewards. Immediately, their attendants rushed forward and gave them a good beating.

Soon, Zhu Jinming was seen being helped by his own butler as he walked over from the distant corridor.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Gu, wait a minute! Give me some time. I need to teach this poisoner a lesson. He's utterly despicable!"

Not only Zhang Yunlie, but Gu Zhihuai and even Zhu Jinming have been suffering from severe diarrhea these days, their faces are sallow, and there is no way to find the cause. They have clearly taken medicine, but it is not working at all.

If it weren't for the competition at Hongwen Academy, the three of them would have been bedridden and unable to get up long ago.

Zhang Yunlie and Gu Zhihuai's servants gave the person who poisoned them a severe beating.

Soon, Zhu Jinming's entourage joined in, and one of them, unable to bear it any longer, twisted his body and hugged Su Shichang's leg.

"Your tutors are all learned men. Are you really going to stand by and watch your students commit self-punishment and fight amongst themselves?"

Su Shichang immediately raised his head, puffed out his chest, and snorted coldly, clearly not wanting to get involved in the matter.

Zhu Jinming glanced at it and said, "All of you tutors are learned and upright gentlemen. Unlike your Bailu Academy, which actually drugged us in order to win the competition."

"Beat him!" The servants then proceeded to punch and kick him. The person who had poisoned him quickly became bruised and swollen.

Zhu Jinming was still not satisfied, so he said from the side, "Leave him alive. How dare you murder the young master of Chen County! Not to mention me, even Chen County behind me will not let you get away with this."
